Well that's it. I don't know if fairies are cryptids or whatever but it's only folklore related scary story I got. Grandma told me a shit ton of scary stories (mostly ghosts) one afternoon and got so scared of her own stories she started praying the rosary poor woman

OP here, i am slovakfag
we call these fairy-like things rusalka
they do weird stuff like this and also lure people to their deaths sometimes, in some folklores might even eat them
on a second thought, they are the only slavic mythical creatures known to actually kill and eat people
